	FBI Considered "It's A Wonderful Life" Communist Propaganda \| Wise Bread
		The average FBI agent, the average person who was against communism and soviet spies in our government, did not hold the view that IaWL was communist propoganda.
		All we know is that America was paranoid over "the communist threat" in that era and Its a Wonderful Life went on to be a classic.
		Is this the same FBI with bureaucratic incompotence and infighting that allowed Sept 11.

		If the percentage of Communists to the total population had actually been as high as portrayed on that series, the Communists could have elected the president and held a majority in Congress."

		Through it all, the FBI proudly touted Philbric as one of their own, and had him host"What Is Communism," an early '60s short now regarded as a "B movie classic." (McKee 2003).
		Technically, of course, Cvetic was not a trained FBI agent but more accurately a "confidential informant," a term not always clear in subsequent reports on his activities.

	Capitol Hill Blue: FBI thought composer Aaron Copeland was a communist (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The result is an inch-thick FBI file, replete with fled-out passages, released to The Associated Press in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from late 1997.
		In dry bureaucratic language, the file discloses that the FBI wanted to prosecute Copland for perjury and fraud for denying he was a communist, and that Director J. Edgar Hoover got involved by enlisting the CIA's help in tracking the composer's travels.
		Copland had said he began cutting his ties to leftist groups after learning some of them might be "communist or communist front." This may explain why the FBI ultimately dropped the perjury investigation.

	Thrilling Days of Yesteryear : Thrilling Days of Yesteryear
		Communist was produced during the early 1950s to capitalize on the then-current Red Scare—by a man whose last name has become virtually synonymous with both radio and television syndication.
		I Was a Communist For the FBI is definitely a candidate for a Cold War time capsule; an espionage-thriller that nicely captures the anti-Communist hysteria which at that time was at its peak.
		Before I Was a Communist For the FBI made its radio debut, the story of Matt Cvetic had previously been told on the silver screen in a 1951 Warner Brothers film starring Frank Lovejoy (no slouch to radio himself; he was the star of the excellent NBC series Nightbeat, which ran from 1950 to 1952).

		The 3,000-page FBI file contains charges against her for suspected Communist activities, threats to her life on the grounds of her disloyalty to the country, close monitoring of her activities and writings, and a record of possible insurrectionary groups that she may have influenced.
		Eleanor denounced the ways by which Hoover's FBI procured its information as "Gestapo-ish" and wrote outraged letters protesting the investigations of her friends and even of her personal secretary.

		He became one of many plants in the Party during that decade and gained the nickname "Pennsylvania's most significant mole." However, because of his erratic behavior, the FBI fired him in 1950, at which time he surfaced and suddenly became a celebrity through his testimony before the HUAC hearing.

	FBI targeting US activist activities as 'domestic terrorism' : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Dec. 20— According to new documents released on Dec. 20 by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the FBI is using counterterrorism resources to monitor and infiltrate domestic political organizations that criticize business interests and government policies, despite a lack of evidence that the groups are engaging in or supporting violent action.

		Cvetic, a hard-drinking lout who reportedly once thrashed his sister-in-law badly enough to hospitalize her, sold his first-person account to The Saturday Evening Post, which serialized his heroics as "I Posed as a Communist for the FBI" (written with the help of Pete Martin).
		Incredibly, I Was a Communist for the FBI was nominated for an Academy Award as the best documentary of the year.

		JTTFs are legal partnerships between the FBI and local police, in which local officers are “deputized” as federal agents and work in coordination with the FBI to identify and monitor individuals and groups.
		A classified FBI intelligence memorandum disclosed publicly last November revealed that the FBI has actually directed police to target and monitor lawful political demonstrations under the rubric of fighting terrorism.
		You could call the FBI surveillance a colossal waste of public resources, but Wizner thinks it’s worse than that: Also in the documents obtained by the ACLU is a memo about a source planted within Greenpeace informing the agency that recent law-enforcement efforts have already damaged morale.

		Lovejoy, a common Pittsburgh steelworker, is recruited by the FBI to infiltrate his union, which, in reality, is a Communist organization that has been trying to increase its membership among the disenfranchised laborers.
		At a big Communist convention Lovejoy is shocked to find the Red leaders gorging themselves on caviar and champagne while boasting that when they take over America, everyone will live the good life.
		Viewed as a mature social drama, I WAS A COMMUNIST FOR THE F.B.I. is a reprehensible film that portrays labor unions, intellectuals, schoolteachers, and independent-minded people as potentially dangerous Communist dupes who, through their stupidity, could destroy the very fabric of American life.

		MORGAN stated he had received information that CEPPOS was in sympathy with the Communist Party; however, he was unable to elaborate on this.
		According to MORGAN, many clubs have been formed, and he believes they would be a futile source for Communist infiltration on a national scale, inasmuch as they have already been set up on an organizational plan.

		One of the most thoroughly documented books on this critical issue is "The Naked Communist" by former FBI agent W. Cleon Skousen, founder of the Center for Constitutional Studies.

		A concerned citizen, name redacted, reported that Richard O'Hair, "claiming to be an F.B.I. agent," had acted "against the interests of the United States": He had helped Madalyn Murray, "the notorious communist and atheist" and "fugitive from American justice," hide out in Mexico and then had married her.
		But the materials released thus far indicate that UnGodly is wrong: Richard O'Hair, Communist for the FBI in the 1940s, wasn't a husband for the FBI in the 1960s.
